CIGAR OR PIPE TRAY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 743,253, dated November 3, 1903.

Application filed July 31, 1903. Serial No. 167,701. (No model.)

To all whom it'rnay concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN B. ORAPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar or Pipe Trays, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce at comparatively low cost a cigar or pipe holder which may be attached in any one of a number of positions, either to a horizontal edge, such as the edge of a table, or to a vertical edge, such as the edge of a drawer, or pinned to the inside of a carriage-canopy or stood upon a table.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my device attached to a horizontal edge with the traysupport above the level of the table. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the parts with the bowl below the level of the table. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the device attached to a drawer side. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the pin used for supporting my device to a carriage-canopy or other similar part, and Fig. 5 is a sectional detail.

The pipe or cigar supporting member consists of a bowl 10, having a rearwardly-extending tail 11, which terminates in an ,underturned leg 12. Near leg 12 the tail 11 is provided with a pair of upturned fingers 13, adapted to embrace the cigar or pipestem. Tail 11 is also provided with a pair of opposed upturned lips 14 and 15, the lip 15 terminating in a horizontal finger 16, the edges 17 of which are turned under to form flanges to retain the under end of a spring 18. The upper end of spring 18 projects toward tail 11, and to this end is pivoted a retaining-clip 19, having a rearwardly-extending tail 20, which serves to retain clip 19 in either of its extreme positions. Secured to bowl 10 are upwardly-projecting side pieces 21, which serve as supports for the bowl of a pipe. The side pieces 21 are preferably connected by a cross-' piece 22, which extends across the bowl 10 and forms a bar over which the lighted end of a cigar may be drawn in order to deposit the ashes into the bowl 10. The ends of bar 22 terminate in legs 23, which are bent around beneath bowl 10 and serve to retain the side which consists of a central body 24, the edges of which are underturned to form flanges 25, between which slides a clamping member 26, having a clamping-lip 27, provided with a tooth 28. Member 26 is also provided with a finger-piece 29, by which it may be readily slid upon portion 24. Coacting with lip 27 is a lip 30, which is formed integral with body 24 at right angles thereto and is provided with a pair of teeth 31, which are in opposition to tooth 28. Extending from lip 30 at right angles thereto, but parallel with body 24, is a finger 32, adapted to be inserted under the flanges 17, the body 24 lying above or below the part 16, depending upon the position in which the part 24 is clamped to a vertical edge, as shown in Fig. 3. The opposite end of body 24 is provided with an integral finger 33, which lies at right angles to said body and at right angles to the finger 32, and this finger 33 may be inserted beneath flanges 17, with body 24 dropping below or rising above the part 16, when said body 24 is clamped to a horizontal edge, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. g

It often occurs that physicians driving about on their daily roundsdo not care to throw a cigar, away, and in order to adapt my holder for their use I provide the pin shown in Fig. 4, the portion 34 of which lies at right angles to the pin-arms 35 and is adapted to be inserted beneath flanges 17 in the manner already described, so that the holder may be readily pinned to the inside of one of the vet ti'cal sides of a carriage-canopy or to the'back or sides of an upholstered seat or even to the inside of the dashboard.

I claim as my invention-- 1. A smokers utensil consisting of a receiving member and a supporting member, said supporting member being provided with means by which it may be attached to any suitable support, and with a pair of holding portions one at right angles to the other, and to either of which the receiving member may be attached.

2. A smokers utensil composed of a receiving member consisting of an ash-bowl, a stemsupport projecting from said ash-bowl, and a support-receiving lip; and a support to which the receiving-lip may be detachably secured.

3. A smokers utensil composed of a receiving member consisting of an ash-bowl, a stemsupport projecting from said bowl, a supportreceiving lip, and a pipe-bowl support projecting above the ash-bowl; and a support to which the receiving member may be detachably secured.

4. A support for smokers utensil consisting of a main body having one piece of a clamp, a cooperating clamp movably mounted in said body, and a pair of fingers projecting from said device at substantially right angles to each other, for the purpose set forth.

5. A smokers utensil consisting of an ashbowl 10, a stem-support 11 extending from said ash-bowl, finger 16 extending from said stem having flanges 17, and side pieces 21 rising from the ash-bowl, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

6. A smokers utensil consisting of an ash-- bowl 10 having a projecting stem-support 11, a finger 16 projecting from said stem-support and having flanges 17, a spring 18 carried by said finger, a retaining-clip l9 hinged to said spring, pipe-bowl supports carried by the ashbowl; a support 24, a clamp carried thereby, and fingers 32 and 33 projecting from said support at right angles to each otherand each adapted to pass beneath flanges 17, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 29th day of July, A. D. 1903.
